Serge Tousignant
Born in Montreal (Québec), Canada, in 1942
From his very first works, Serge Tousignant demonstrated an interest in the phenomena of perception. Working in a wide range of mediums such as printmaking, painting, sculpture, installation, and photography, he explored art as a space of illusion, directing his practice toward a conceptual approach that favoured a work’s idea over its material form. His practice is characterized by the attention he brings to the specificities of pictorial space and the three-dimensional object, as well as a sustained reflection on systems of representation.
